Tahini chicken is quick, tasty, and out of the ordinary. The key ingredient, tahini, is a sesame paste available in Asian stores, but recently has been seen in major grocery chains. It tastes like a mix of Asian and Mediterranean, close to a peanut sauce satay but made from sesame. Serve over couscous or noodles.

Ingredients

  • 0.75 cups water
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon
  • 0.25 cups tahini , sesame paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons butter , or as needed
  • 2 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves, cut into cubes, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour , or as needed
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds , or as desired

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring water and bouillon cube to a boil in a pot until bouillon is dissolved; decrease heat to low. Whisk tahini, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger into bouillon mixture until smooth. Keep sauce warm over low heat.

  2. 2

    Heat butter in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Whisk flour into tahini sauce until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add cooked chicken to tahini sauce and toss to coat.
